Ozzy Osbourne has broken his silence for the first time since he was accused of having an affair with a hairdresser.

The Black Sabbath rocker has reportedly split from Sharon Osbourne, his wife of nearly 34 years, over the allegations and whilst he didn't address their relationship status, he denied rumours he has relapsed.

Ozzy told E! News : "I have been sober for three and a quarter years. I have not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Any reports that I am not sober are completely inaccurate."

It was also reported that he'd gone "missing", but he was seen out for the first time on a solo trip in Los Angeles today.

Meanwhile, Sharon, 63, was absent from her hosting duties on chat show The Talk on Monday amidst the allegations.

Her co-host Julie Chen said at the beginning of the show: "As we get started, Sharon is not here today. There were many tabloid headlines of her and Ozzy, rumours and speculations that they have split up after nearly 34 years of marriage.

"Sharon understandably took today off and we are sending all of our love to her and to her family. And we ask that you do the same."

Meanwhile, Sharon - who has daughters Kelly, 31, Aimee, 32 and Jack, 30, with Ozzy - is said to have gone "ballistic" when she found "proof" of the 67-year-old musician's infidelity.

A source said: "Sharon went ballistic with Ozzy and accused him of having the affair. She said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof.

"People are wondering whether Sharon went through Ozzy's phone before accusing him. She has done that before but in the past she was checking if he'd been using drugs.

"Ozzy was extremely sheepish and admitted being close to Michelle. It is likely Sharon has discovered calls and possibly meetings.

"He is not speaking to Sharon and she has not let him back into the house. Ozzy went straight to the Beverly Hills hotel which is very near their home. He is well known there and has been there before when they've had rows."

The Osbournes have been married for 34 years in July but have always had a tumultuous relationship.

The wild rocker once bit the head off a live bat during a gig in 1982 after it was thrown on stage and Ozzy, at the height of his drug addiction, believed it was made of rubber.

Sharon and Ozzy met when she was just 18-years-old and working for her father, Don Arden, who was then managing Black Sabbath.

When Ozzy was sacked from the band in 1979, Sharon started to date him and took over his management as a solo artist.

Three years later in 1982, Ozzy and Sharon tied the knot in Maui, Hawaii.

The family - minus Aimee - starred in MTV reality TV show The Osbournes, which first aired in 2002.

Sharon revealed in 2013 how she was on the brink of divorcing her wayward rocker husband after discovering that after almost a decade off drink and drugs, he had relapsed.

The discovery was on the eve of their 30th wedding anniversary.

Writing in her autobiography Unbreakable, Sharon said: “I would never have imagined our anniversary would be the start of one of the worst periods in our marriage."I’d like to tell you he got me a vast bouquet and took me for a candlelit supper. But I wed Ozzy Osbourne.”

The couple patched things up when Ozzy attended therapy sessions and stayed sober.

He later told NME: "She was very p***ed off. I thought I was gonna lose my family at one point."
